Frank Jenkins Says Wealth
Comes From Production,
Not Planned Scarcity
"All Wealth Comes from
Production." was the subject
of an address by Frank Jen
kins. Klamath Falls publisher,
before the Medford Rotary club
Tuesday noon t Hotel Med
ford. A complete reversal of
the presant policy of "borrow
ing against the future," and
immediate discarding of the
economically unsound doctrine
of scarcity," were urged by the
speaker.
Wealth should actually be
measured in the three basic
necessities of life food, shelter
and clothing, Mr. Jenkins point
ed out. Entertainment might
well be added as a fourth essen
tial, he said.
Xlamath Co. Cited.
As proof of the assertion tiiat
prosperity gees handln-hand
with labor and production, the
speaker cited the example of
Klamath county. In this area,
the dollnr vulue of crops for
the period from 1930 to 1935
exceed the value of crops for
the preceding five years by
two and one half times. Lum
ber production likewise in
creased 10 per cent for the
corresponding period. The

wealth that this increased pro
duction has brought, Mr Jen
kins said.
The fact that this natlin has
been "weaving daisies in her
hair and dancing in the dew"
is accountable for America's
present inadequate defense, ac
cording to Mr. Jenkins. "Ap
propriations alone cannot sale
guard this country; mon"y must
be translated into battleships,
airplanes, tanks, guns and am
munition and that cills. for in
creased production," he said.
Bitter post war competition
from trade-hungry Europe will
tax the resourcefulness of Amer
ican industry, Mr. Jenkins re
minded his audience. Virtual
slave labor will mean low prices
in world markets and this coun
try can compete only if there
is increased efficiency In In

Two cieat contributions to
human life were the invention
of the steam engine, which in

of mass production has brought
higher wages, lower prices and
more of the good things of life
for the people of this nation,
Jenkins pointed out.
Concluding, Mr. Jenkins brief
ly cited some of the limitations
and restrictions that have been
placed on production and urr.cd
that they be removed so that
American industry may survive
in a highly competitive world

DEFENSE PLANS
Report From Commission
Shows $1,661,891,494
Worth Contracts Signed
Washington, July 16
President Roosevelt gsve to re
porters today a report from the
defense commission which he
said exhibited extremely good
progress and which showed that
the industrial production divi
sion alone had let contracts to
taling $1,661,891,494 since June
8.
Mr. Roosevelt got a separate
report from each of the seven
divisions of the commission at
a conference today and then
handed copies to reporters.
All Phases Covered.
The reports covered all
phases of the defense program
to date, including such topics as
protection of consumers, acqui
sition of strategic materials, pro
vision of adequate equipment
and transportation for troop
movements in event of war, the
keying of agriculture into the
defense picture and training of
skilled workers.
A report from the production
division, headed by William S.
Knudsen, said the contracts
cleared since June 6 were di
vided $1,380,575,404 for the
navy and $271,316,089 for the
army.
The deliveries under the eon
tracts, coming from plants from
Maine to California, will give
the nation improved fighting
equipment of all types.
The contracts, Knudsen In
formed the President, cover
planes, tanks, battleships, am
munition, anti-tank guns, anti
aircraft searchlights, machine
guns, tractors, trucks, clothing,
machinery, airport construction,
barracks and other essential
items.
Bottlenecks Solved.
Furthermore, Knudsen report
ed, "evidence has been devel
oped indicating progress toward
solution, for the time being at
least, of the bottlenecks in the
machine tool industry."
Edward R. S'cttinius, Jr., for
the materials division, informed
the chief executive that "sub
stantial supplies" of strategic
and critical raw materials were
being acquired. Whereas the
country always has depended
on Imports for rubber, he said,
it is expected that by the end
of the month a plan will have
been worked out for supplying
In any emergency, "most of
our needs through the manu
facture of synthetic rubber."
Stettlnlus advised the Presi
dent of concentration on the
problem of producing high-octane
gasoline for airplanes to
assure adequate supplies. Plans
are under way, he said, fur
storing large quantities of this
gasoline at strategic locations
under ground. This, the Presi
dent commented, will be some
thing new.
Training Planned.
Sidney Hillman, chief of the
labor supply division, .aid his
organization, emphaslilng plans
for training skilled workers, al
ready has between 30.000 and
40,000 cnrollees receiving train
ing designed to enable the de
fense commission to meet any
demands for workers arising
from the defense program.

has been the object of the pri
mary efforts of the price stabil
ization division under Leon
Henderson.
"Analysis of both the ma
terials and resources have been
coupled with consideration of
measures for control and price
stabilization," Henderson re
ported to the chief executive.
"Numerous proposals for price
regulation are being studied."
The agricultural division, di
rected by Chester Davis, is
working on the problem of lo
cating plants for defense pro
duction so as to utilize surplus
labor, particularly in agricul
tural areas, to avoid "uneco
nomic concentration of indus
try." Miss Harriet Elliott, In charge
of consumer protection, slid
her division had laid the
groundwork for an extensive
educational campaign to "mo
bilize public sentiment behind
the idea that the civilian popu
lation must be prepared physic
ally to meet defense responsi
bilities placed upon it by an
emergency."
From Ralph Budd, of the
transportation division, the
President received word that
specific recommendations have
been drawn up for the acquisi
tion of "very substantial num
bers of special rolling stock for
handling troops and their equipment."

for the division, showed that
more than 9,000,000 pounds of
shark were taken from the
waters of the state dutlng 193'J.

that more burglaries occurred
between 8 p. m. and midnight
than at any other time of the
day, with 9 p. m. being the
hour most favored by prowlers.
For some reason which the
company did not attempt to ex
plain, burglars operate earlier
in the far west. San Francisco
reported more breaks between
2 and 5 p. m. than at any other
time, and Los Angeles and other
western centers found the ma
jority occurring between 6 and
8 p. m. This goes for Hono
lulu, too.
The majority of the police
reports studied during the sur
vey contained the phrase "fam
ily away for the evening," and
"family away overnight" or
"family away on vacation" also
was common.
The company said it was a
"wise extravagance" to leave at
least one light burning in a
home vacated for the evening.
